Get your antiques at the ready. Popular BBC programme ‘Flog It’ is coming to Hull.

Paul Martin and his team are heading to Hull City Hall in January to try put some of your valuables under the hammer.

The filming, which is part of series 17 of the long-running show, will take place on Thursday, January 11 and the public are encouraged to head down and have their hidden treasures valued for free.

From the hundreds of people that are expected to turn up at the grade two listed building, a small selection will be chosen to go to air and will be sold at an auction house in Lincoln a fortnight later.

But fear not – your item will get a free appraisal even if it is not picked to go on television. Four episodes will be made out of the Hull City Hall evaluation day, all to be shown within 18 months.

Presenter Paul Martin said: “It’s great to be bringing Flog It back to East Yorkshire, I’m so pleased to be getting another opportunity to share this part of the world with our viewers.

"We always receive a warm welcome whenever we come to the county and I’m hoping plenty of people will take the chance to bring along their items to show us.”

Flog It has made many significant finds over the years including, in North Lincolnshire, a rare Aboriginal Broad Shield that had been kept hidden away in a viewer’s wardrobe before being brought along to a valuation day — it went on to sell at auction for £30,000.
